Description

Inside, visitors were welcomed to a polished floor spread with rugs, and plenty of house-plants. Another small room showcased an Oriental den in one corner and the office of the commissioner in the other.

The second floor housed living quarters. Photographs of Nevada beauty, mining industries and irrigations systems were displayed on the walls and in albums.

Not surprisingly, Nevada had a huge display at the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy, where they displayed gold, silver, copper, lead and precious stones.
